More sought over Kim killing

MALAYSIAN police are hunting for more North Korean suspects over the killing of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s half-brother.

Police chief Khalid Abu Bakar said the new suspects are in addition to seven North Koreans already sought over last month’s poisoning of Kim Jong Nam at Kuala Lumpur’s airport.

Khalid said the new suspects include an “important person,” but he declined to give further details.

“I do not deny that there are more North Koreans involved in the murder of Kim Jong Nam. We will follow the legal channel to get them,” he said. “I do not want to say more than that. If I do, they may run ... but we believe there is an important person too.”

Malaysian authorities say Kim died after two women smeared Kim’s face with a nerve agent on February 13.
